I used my spectrum noir markers to apply a favorite color scheme of mine.
Pinks and greys worked perfect.

 I really loved creating this LO; lots of fun.
First applying the mixed media background, inking and stamping with 
my script writing stamp.

 Then it was time for the floral cluster, die cuts, and bows.
I applied layers, a double doily, and pretty peach lace to
enhance the shabby chic look. I so love using the script title which is trendy now.


I applied the journal and date last along enamel dots and arrow.
The journaling simply tells you about Olivia and what she is doing in the picture.

Here is the Stash used:

All finished!!!!

Time For the Tuesday Throwdown Challenge!

Hi there crafty friends!
Rachelle here sharing my DT inspirational design for this week's challenge at

This week's theme is entitled 
"Summer Fun."

I hope everyone is enjoying these summer days and
keeping cool while creating those crafty projects.
I really had fun with this design.
 
"Beautiful Dreamer"
 
I selected this digi because calla lilies are one of my favorite flowers.
For this card I went with a mixed media background, layering,
inking, and distressing.
 

 More Views:

For me fantasy art can be fun to create because I like using
the not so ordinary colors. Using my spectrum noir markers I worked with 
turquoise, yellows, orange, and basic face colors.
Next, I added a bit of turquoise glitter.
Then I applied the extra accents.
 

This week's lovely sponsor is AuroraWings which offers
beautiful digi stamps.

Aurora Wings Etsy Shop

There it is a completely finished design.
